We have various sheets of Arrival of the Birds. But boy is this song beautiful. Way more beautiful than Arrival in my opinion.There is no way of finding a Transformation sheet anywhere on the internet.I leave it as a suggestion.

I’ve been searching for an arrangement of a song from “Hook” entitled “Remembering Childhood” by John Williams. I have seen many arrangements of a song called “I Remember” but that is only a small portion of the song I’m looking for. The part of the song I want especially is the upbeat, exciting part of the song (when he finds his happy thought and flies again). It is one of my favorites and I would love to play a piano version. I know it won’t quite be the same as the original with the orchestra, but I’ve seen people on here do some amazing arrangements of other pieces!

So my parents finally bought me an alto last March (I had 3 years under my belt then) and it's a student yamaha. I thought it sounded fine, and I played fairly decent with it. Marching band passed, and no problems. I got a new mouthpiece (Selmer c star) before auditioning for an all east TN honor band a few months ago in December (I made it), and I thought I sounded good still. My teacher said my sound was fine. Recently, for the past month or two, I've been noticing a subtle "buzzy" sound when I play, and at first I thought it was the reed. I changed reeds and found out that was not the case. I showed my band director, and he said it shouldn't be a problem. I showed my teacher, too, but he said he couldn't hear it. I even gave my friend a chance to play my sax, and we both could hear it. Fast track to a few days ago; I got my sax out to start practicing, and immediately I was hit with the very noticeable buzzy sound... but much worse than before. Almost every note has the buzzy sound in it; especially middle g through middle d. I'm going to meet my teacher about it in a few days. But, would anyone know any reason for this just suddenly happening? I feel like it could be my mouthpiece, since it has tiny scratches here and there, or my alto itself, or both. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey all, I wrote a piece a while back that changes meter pretty much every three or four measures (4/4 to 3/4, nothing ridiculous), and I was hoping to get some feedback on it. Please, let me know what you think!

I wrote a piece a while back where I was experimenting with changing the meter back and forth (4/4 to 3/4, nothing too crazy). I rather like the result, but I was hoping to get some feedback on the piece, either on the meter or just in general.

Hello! I am Mark Catahan and I arranged a piece from Francisco Tarrega which was Gran Vals. It is originally a guitar piece but I transcribed and arranged it for a string quartet. With my arrangement, something is bugging me about how I arranged it and I do not know what it is. So I kinda need some help on figuring out what needs to improve in the arrangement. Thanks!

Heya, I'm bringing this problem to the saxes of Musescore because I'm too lazy to make an account for another website and I have a marching band performance on Memorial Day coming up fast. (Just to clarify, this issue is on my tenor.)

So, I've had this problem for my entire time playing saxophone and I've mostly gotten around it with my embouchure, but it's gotten worse. If I try to play G or G#, it squeaks. Quite badly. Just today I noticed that if I kind of focus that squeak, it's actually a really bad palm key Eb, so I was wondering if it was a palm key leak or something else. I did also notice that several of the pads on the palm keys of my (I believe it's a YTS-26? I'll edit the post if it isn't) tenor saxophone were quite a bit out of alignment, especially the high F key, which was several millimeters off center. So, I was wondering if it is a key alignment issue or something else. Any suggestions?

Edit: The palm keys are also really loose on the tone holes, so that won't help. I was thinking of messing with the leaf springs, but I'm no professional. (Finally, that 4th grade science project on levers will help me)

So today, I just got my brand new bari :,). It was totally amazing but I found that the tone quality on the upper octave G to B sounded like they totally had an air leak. The sound just dipped in sound, and an audible leaky sound was coming though. I know there isn't really an issue with the rest of the bari but the notes sound so weak and undesirable. Any ways to fix this?P.S: The octave mechanics seems to be fine, since the first octave closes shut when the other is activated and vice versa.
